Abstract

A rotor (30) comprises a disc (50) for rotating about an axis, supporting a plurality of radially extending blades (40) in slots (52) therein. At least one retaining plate (60), having a radially outer edge (62), is received by a channel (48, 58) formed by the disc (50) and at least one blade (40). The blade (40) and disc (50) are contiguous in the channel (48, 58) at first (55) and second (57) distinct parts of the disc (50), and the radially outer edge (62) of the retaining plate (60) has at least one indentation (64) aligned with a first part (55) of the disc (50). A claim is also included to the retaining plate itself.
